Why Linux?

During the past decades, Linux has evolved from a niche OS to an
ubiquitous computing platform, that crushed almost all of its
competitors.

The biggest advantage of Linux is its openness: anyone can use
Linux, enhance Linux, and contribute to Linux. Unlike with
traditional embrace-and-extend software platforms, you are in
control of the software you are using or putting in your products.

Why joining Linux?

While you can create your own private fork of Linux, without
contributing back, this doesn't let you exploit the full power of
Linux.
It merely brings you all of the disadvantages of maintaining your
own code, and withholds you from most of the advantages of
collaborating with the Linux kernel community.

By focussing on collaboration instead of competition, we can work
together a common goal, namely the improvement of Linux overall,
benefitting all of its users and contributors.
